The “redneck” comedian Jeff Foxworthy used to joke about how safe of a driver his grandmother was, but as soon as she got behind the wheel of a rental car, all bets were off. It’s a commonly held belief that motorists abuse borrowed vehicles, taking out pent-up aggression on hired Impalas from Hertz. When it comes to buying a used car are second-hand rentals a smart choice, or something to be avoided like a holiday in North Korea?

Ha, I know a guy who is banned from almost every major rental car company in North America (and probably some in Europe), and its not because he took care of the cars. His stories are awesome. If I ever found out a car I was looking at used to be a rental its deal over. Never will i knowingly buy one.
